The top jewelry forced my jaw to push forward and after a couple months, I was experiencing jaw pain so I took it out. When I went back and got my eyebrows done, Molly said that she can mess around with the placement and redo the lip piercing for just the price of the jewelry! Molly and Cody are extremely kind and professional. BUT Their front staff seems to be constantly changing, and none of them have been very nice to me, or other customers from what I heard first hand at the shop.

Dennis has been my artist since 2003. Needless to say I trust him, whole heartedly. When my best…read morefriend wanted her FIRST tattoo at 74 years old she was scared, but wanted to have her 4 granddaughters names tattooed on her. My first call was to Dennis. He was beyond sweet to her. He explained the entire process to her easing her mind. She was absolutely impressed with his professionalism, bedside manner, & genuine kindness she is now talking about getting another! Thank you all at Artist at Large for your kindness you all are truly a class act!

Austin is fantastic! He's very professional and polite, what was truly amazing was the talent he…read morebrought to this tattoo. I will definitely be taking my business to him from now on. Austin doesn't just do tattoos, he does art for the skin and he's dedicated to show casing his artwork with dedication and talent. The shop is a great place as well and they want to help you to get the tattoo that you're looking for. So happy I chose this place for my tattoo work

I've had about a dozen tattoos and piercings done by Dan and recommend Idle Hands to everyone!…read more Pros: *Receptionist was prompt and really friendly. *The shop was very clean and even decorated tastefully. (I've been in a few other shops that I literally walked right back out of them because of the unsanitary conditions or disgusting decor.) *Dan was friendly, efficient, and professional. He explained everything about aftercare and even checked on me a few times during the piercing/tattoo. *Prices were very reasonable Cons: The only thing I would say as a con is that parking was a little difficult but I found a small parking lot practically right behind the shop with plenty of parking.

I was with my best friend. We decided to get tattoos. I called and they asked for us to come down…read more We did and were scheduled for a 7pm appointment for a simple tattoo of 2 black tiny birds. Literally anyone can draw them. When we came back at 6:50, we sat. I had already paid $41 for a "down payment" So we waited. The reception boy Will left. And we waited. We went to the restroom and waited some more. An hour later, having never been addressed, never been talked to, never been asked to reschedule, nothing...we left. I called the reception boy and he told me he never took my $41 "downpayment" really? So why is there a charge? Why is there a MEMORY??? Gaslight much? I'll never go back in there. Zero stars!!!

Great place, great artist! Staff has always been super nice to customers. They had many walk-ins my…read morefew times there. They also have some books, etc. if your not sure what you want. I've had them do all my tattoos. My very first about 10 years ago when a few of them were at another shop that has since closed. I've had Heath mostly, and Megan once. They all do great work. Super clean and I've never had any problems! Good people to conversate while you sit for awhile. And the prices are not super inflated- they are actually very affordable. This is something you want done right, the first time. I always get compliments on mine and always tell people where I got them! They can do pretty much anything and will help make it look great. Right off Douglas next to the Anchor. Being downtown- lunch rush makes parking full but I've always found a spot. Pretty cool shop, lots of art. And art for sale!!

My little brother recommended Paul very highly. And since his whole family has been getting work…read moredone by Paul for over 6 years, and because I trust my brother's opinion, my wife and i went to Paul at Contender Tattoo Studio to get our memorial tattoos . It was my wife's first professional tattoo experience and my 8th. We were not disappointed. His studio is clean, and Paul takes great pains to ensure that the client doesn't leave the studio with anything that they didn't come in with other than a new tattoo. We were more than pleased with how our tattoos came out. When it is time for our next tattoos, we will definitely be returning to Paul at Contender Tattoo Studio. contendertattoo.com.

I went to this shop for a flash event with a friend, and we both requested the exact same simple…read morelinework tattoo. Her tattoo turned out clean and well-executed. Mine, however, looks nothing like the reference. The lines are shaky, uneven, and completely miss the shape of the design. It's incredibly disappointing to walk away with something permanently on my body that looks rushed and sloppy. When the artist (the owner) first drew the design on my wrist, I immediately told him it didn't look right. He brushed off my concern and said the tattoo lines would be thinner than the marker and that it would "look good." I said I'd trust the process, and he replied with "famous last words." That should've been a red flag. While he was tattooing me, I watched him mess up a line, and he commented, "Well, it's too late now." Hearing that during a tattoo was beyond unprofessional and reinforced exactly why I had concerns from the beginning. Afterward, when I calmly told him I was unhappy with the result, he became defensive and dismissive. He accused me of "causing a scene," told me I shouldn't have expected quality at a flash event, and continued to belittle me instead of taking responsibility. Meanwhile, my friend's matching tattoo -- done by someone else at the shop -- turned out great, which makes the inconsistency even more frustrating. Flash event or not, customers deserve basic respect and competent work. My experience with the owner was the opposite. I now have to look into fixing or covering a tattoo that should have been simple. I would not recommend this shop to anyone seeking consistent quality or professional treatment. First picture is what we requested, second is what my friend got done and the third is what I received.
